Answer: the slope would be -9 over 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:  The required slope of the line GH is [tex]-\dfrac{9}{7}.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the line GH contains the points G(-2, 6) and H(5, -3).

We are to find the slope of GH.

The slope of a line segment containing the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by

[tex]m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}.[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the line GH is given by

[tex]m=\dfrac{-3-6}{5-(-2)}=-\dfrac{9}{7}.[/tex]

Thus, the required slope of the line GH is [tex]-\dfrac{9}{7}.[/tex]
